How to Remove the Rear Car Seat?
2 Answers
Generally, slide the front seat tracks to the rearmost position to remove the two front screws, then slide the tracks to the foremost position to remove the two rear screws. Disconnect the airbag wiring and seat belt warning wiring. For the rear seat, first remove the cushion by lifting it slightly to release two clips, then press backward and lift upward to detach the cushion. Remove the rear seat headrest, then fit the seat cover onto the backrest. The seat cover is secured with hooks, and the lower cushion clip is inserted into the gap between the backrest and cushion for fixation.
I used to remove and clean the rear seat covers of my car by myself, and it was quite simple. For most car models, the rear seats are secured with clips. You just need to bend down, locate the plastic hooks or metal clips at the bottom of the seat, and pull upwards firmly to release them. First, make sure there are no obstructions in the car and that there's enough space to maneuver. I recommend wearing gloves to avoid scratching your hands, or you can use your knee to gently press the front edge of the seat for leverage, making it easier to pull. If kids have dirtied the seats, removing them makes it convenient to dust off and wash the fabric covers. When reinstalling, align the seat properly and press down firmly until you hear a 'click' sound, indicating it's securely fastened. Safety first—don't use excessive force to avoid damaging the clips. If it doesn't budge, check the manual or online video tutorials. Steps may vary slightly depending on the car model. The first time I did it, it took some practice, but now I'm quite familiar with the process.
